WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
‘It’s Over’ by Tatyana was one of our favourite songs of 2024, so it is great to report that she’s hit 2025 running at full speed with a new acid banger called ‘What Have You Done For Me Lately?’ With shades of Inner City, this is primo strobe house for the warehouse or the club,

No new releases. No news. We’ll have to be patient because we can’t be making stuff up.

There’s people who will go to war for Glastonbury, telling you that there’s just nowhere like it. In terms of size, that’s arguably true. However, scope aside, once you’ve been to a bunch of festivals, it’s hard to see what makes it so special, aside from the countless people telling you how special it all

Mr Balearic himself, DJ Alfredo, has sadly left us after being one of the most influential people in dance music’s history. He was 71 and leaves a huge ray of sunshine behind him, which the rest of the DJing world has been basking in ever since. Born in Argentina, Alfredo ended up in Ibiza and

We’re going to take some time off for Christmas and New Year. We might sporadically post, we might not. It’s all good right? Hope you enjoy the end of year lists and round-ups. Go buy some records from a local indie or website and treat yourself. See you properly in 2025.

You’ll know Julien Baker from BOYGENIUS and their own career, but now it’s time to give that good ol’ country music a go – rather, road movie, alt country fun stuff, teaming up with Torres. It reminds us a bit of that classic period Wilco stuff, which is no bad thing. Moreso, reminds us of
-
Arbitrary lists are no good, really. However, it is nice to praise musicians and the work they’ve done. They may never see the praise on a site as small as this one, but if we send good vibes out into the ether and at least some of you give them a listen, and maybe buy

We could write a load of stuff about this, but there’s very little point when the contents of the video are so fun and wholesome that it speaks for itself. THUNDERCAT! YO GABBA GABBA! NPR TINY DESK! Press play immediately!

Before we round up the stuff from 2024 that we thought was great, we’re going to have a little fun predicting what might happen next year in the world of music. Outside of music, you have to wonder if those stupid Marvel films are going to trudge on. They probably will. Of course, it’ll be

Look, we’ve been feeling poorly which meant no posts for a few days. However, we just saw this Fly On The Wall vid where producer The Alchemist is snooping around for loops with a tonne of records and it’s real nerdy and fun to watch. It’s with DAMNDUST and they’re in Bahrain, and you’ll like

LAEL NEALE’S ELECTRIC NEW SONG!
We’ve featured Lael Neale before and like her music a lot. It’s a kinda Velvetsy, kinda singer-songwritery music that is varied and sure footed and really turns our dials! ‘Electricity’ is the name of her new single and it’s got a fun, charming video to accompany it, which you can watch below. Neale says, “I…

IT IS PARTLY YOUR FAULT THAT YOU THINK EVERYTHING SUCKS?
Everything is not as good as it used to be, music is worse, music journalism is doomed, the radio is bad, there’s nothing on TV, whatever happened to that good ol’ rock ‘n’ roll?, it’s all autotune, the DJs don’t even beat match, its all Tik Tok dances and blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda,…

BEST TINY DESK CONCERTS
Ranking things is such a pointless and ugly endeavour. However, it is not beneath us to be either of those things in a futile bid to create some false engagement while people disagree or agree with you. With that, we’re not going to rank every Tiny Desk concert from the lovely folks at NPR, because…

MORE GLORIOUS ACTION FROM THE JUNIPERS
You already know how amazing The Junipers are, and that they’re just about the most perfect sunshine pop band in the entire universe. The last single was a beautiful, hopeful return to form and we’re genuinely thrilled to learn that there’s even more to come and we won’t have long to wait to hear it!…
